Not exact matches

Testing showed a significant increase in light - induced electrical activity from the eyes to the brain, indicating the rods and cones were operating as they should in the visual cycle.

Lamm and his group recently sought the answer to answer this question by combining measures of electrical activity in the brain (via electroencephalogram) with functional magnetic resonance imaging to show blood flow patterns in 25 participants getting rounds of shocks on their hands.

This time, they found that young men and young women responded differently, with males showing a greater increase in electrical activity in the brain in response to a TMS pulse.

In deep, slow - wave sleep, recordings of the brain's electrical activity show sparse bursts of big, slow waves.

Measurements of the electrical activity of nerve cells in two key areas of the brain showed a surprising result: nerve cells in the prefrontal cortex signaled the distraction while it was being presented, but immediately restored the remembered information (the number of dots) once the distraction was switched off.
